Re: Why are you attempting to delete more of my pages?
[edit]Re your message: I deleted your other articles because they were all copy and pasted from other copyrighted material. As I told you previously, Wikipedia can not accept copyrighted material. You can not go to a website and copy their material into a Wikipedia article unless the original website allows such copying. None of the websites that you are copying from allow that. Please review the Wikipedia policy on copyrights.
On a side note, vandalizing my userpage is not the proper way to discuss issues with me. I am happy to help you create articles on the topics that interest you, but you must write the article in your own words, not just copy text from other websites. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Kikiyaon, you will be blocked from editing. --Finngall talk 22:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Kikiyaon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit]
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, such as Kikiyaon, you will be blocked from editing. Eve (talk) 09:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I'm assuming here that you're having all your pages deleted for copyright violation because you don't understand what is wrong, rather than deliberate malice. So firstly, PLEASE STOP re-creating the deleted content word for word as soon as we remove it, and instead take a few minutes to find out what is going wrong and how you can write articles without having this trouble! Firstly read the page on copyright violations, and in particular note that copying and pasting from other websites is not allowed (unless they have certain licenses, which is unusual but see the copyvio page for details). But what you CAN do is cite copyrighted pages as sources, and summarise the material they contain IN YOUR OWN WORDS. To give you some idea, instead of deleting your Sten Bergman page again, I spent some time removing all the copied material, and re-writing the article in my own words, citing the places you copied from as references. I also tidied the style up a bit.
I can't guarantee the Sten Bergman page won't be deleted again, because people may decide he isn't notable enough, i.e. isn't important enough for his own article. But now it doesn't contain copyright violations which have to be deleted on sight, it stands more of a chance.
I'm afraid I don't have time to go through all of your deleted articles and re-write them for you, but I hope now you can see what needs doing you can do that yourself. If you still have trouble feel free to ask me, ask at the helpdesk or try the copyright assistance resources. Hope that helps, Eve (talk) 11:35, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Re your message: The rewrite of the Sten Bergman article by Eve is an excellent example of how to write an article without including copyrighted material and include references so that it will not get deleted. See also the recreated article at Kikiyaon. It describes the creature and has a properly cited reference without copying the entire article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Just remember to ask if you need any help. Eve (talk) 19:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- I want to apologize though. I removed your linking of the article. It seemed a little excessive to me, but a lot of them are actually appropriate and I'm adding most of them back in. Also, I hope you don't mind but I fix a misspelling on your user page. =) -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Kikiyaon. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 19:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

How to leave
[edit]How can I permanantly log out of Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fwooper (talk • contribs) 20:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- It is not possible to have your account deleted; the GFDL requires that all edits be attributed to the person or address who made them, including those that only appear in the history. If you wish your user page to be deleted permanently, I can do that. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- All you have to do is ask. It's no different from deleting any page. Just wanted to confirm that it was what you indeed wanted, since erasing your user name is not possible. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 22:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
